there must have been some kind of corruption – that people were taking money and not putting it into places it was supposed to go.(22)

these are the people whose neighbors doing these secret burials – whose neighbors were hiding the sick.(41)

因此，它是隐藏某人从一位官员，也不住在你家附近比从长大 30 码远的人要容易得多。

They come and knock on your door and say, you know, look, I hear your sister is sick. We need to take her to the clinic.(43)

他们来去敲你的门，说，你知道吗，你看，我听说你姐姐是生病。我们需要带她到诊所。
